The big sell: This high-end residence was completed last year with steel beam construction and smart technology that includes Nest thermostats, Sonos stereo and a Canary security system. The bright open-concept living space showcases superior finishings with a double-height grand entrance foyer, a kitchen with premium Wolfe and Sub-Zero appliances, an integrated Bosch programmable coffee maker, sleek cabinetry, an oversized island and an adjoining wok kitchen. There is room for separate formal and casual dining, and expansive sliding glass doors off the living area open to a spacious terrace. A glass-sided staircase leads up to four bedrooms (the elegant master suite has its own private deck) and down to a fully-finished basement that includes a media room. Listing agent Davis Kosowan explains that the new home was repositioned on the 10,750-square-foot lot away from a busier street that the former house fronted on to, and closer to the quieter and more exclusive Monte Vista Court.

The big sell: Listing agent Greg Dent attributes part of this New Westminster apartment’s appeal to its sweeping views, high ceilings and unique layout. Another attraction is its penthouse status and large corner balcony that provides Fraser River vistas. At more then 1,000 square feet, the interior is generous and includes separated bedrooms, distinct living and dining areas with the former incorporating a deeply set bay window and ‘floating’ gas fireplace, and an open kitchen. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet, and there is a stacked washer and dryer with adjacent storage shelving. The unit forms part of the Regency building, which was constructed in 2000. Its 63 units enjoy access to nearby shops and amenities and there is a transit stop directly in front of the building. The home includes one parking stall, a locker, a monthly maintenance fee of $395.57 and a strata that allows pets and rentals with restrictions.
